A Muslim organization in Indonesia is striving to set a world record by creating the largest-ever replica of the Koran. Made of massive batik sheets and measuring about seven feet by three feet (2.250m by 1.15m), the faux holy book took ten years to complete and will be publicly unveiled for the first time, according to the Jakarta Post, at the Istiqlal Mosque on July 22, with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in attendance. Any would-be competitors will have to complete their enormous Korans before that date.
Now That’s a Large Koran
